Me: I'm back! School's almost over so I'll be able to update more. Enjoy the new chapter!
"A whole other continent Amu-chan?!" Midori exclaimed as she took off her oven mitts and place them at the table.
"Y-yeah. Same for Rima." Amu answered as she pulled up a chain next to her sister, who was eating a sandwich.
"I don't know, Amu. A whole other continent, that sounds a bit risky. You don't have to follow the rules of the pendant you know." Tsumugu said as he stroked his chin. Amu stood from her chair.
"But it's summer, I won't miss any of my classes! Yaya will take care of the dormitory while I'm gone! And Rima will be with me. I'll even take Kukai and Utau if I need to!" Amu retorted. Midori sighed.
"She's right, Tsumugu. She'll be safe." Midori said. Tsumugu bowed his head in defeat.
"Fine. But be careful." Tsumugu agreed and hugged his daughter tightly.
"Such drama queens." Ami commented as she got up and put her plate in the sink. Amu smiled at how much her sister had grown, but she always frowned at how much different she looked from her sister. Her hair was pink and straight while her sister's was light brown and went down to her waist in ringlets. Ami had a natural light pink blush, while Amu's cheeks were pale and plain.
"Get over here squirt, I won't see you for a while." Amu called for her sister. The eleven year old trudged to her sister and Amu bent down to her level.
"I'll be back soon, okay?" Amu said with a smiled. Ami smiled back, nodded, and hugged her big sister.
"I'll miss you." Ami said sadly. Amu nodded.
"And I'll miss you. But pretty soon you'll be going on an adventure too, just like mine. I'll call you a lot okay?" Amu reasurred. Ami nodded and walked away to her room upstairs.
"I'll be leaving with Rima once we get another hint from our pendants." Amu stated to her parents, who nodded.
"Take this." Midori offered as she handed Amu a credit card, Amu recognized it immediatley.
"But Mama…." Amu started, but Midori shushed her and slipped the card into her hand.
"It was for your college fund, but because you got a scholarship for Literature, Art, and Singing, we never used it. We were going to use it to buy a boat, but we don't need that." Midori said with a smile. Amu smiled back.
"Thank you, Mama!" Amu exclaimed and hugged her mother tightly.
"You're welcome. Now why don't you get back to the University and start packing with Rima." Midori ordered. Amu nodded and went out the door and back to her car. She slipped the credit card into her wallet and grabbed her cell phone from the glove compartment. She quickly dialed Rima and held the phone to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Rima! My parents said I could go! And my mom gave me a credit card with lots of money on it!" Amu exclaimed. Rima giggled.
"As always, my mom didn't really care. My dad wasn't there, probably out drinking. But my mom gave me some money and told me to have some fun."
"Really? Wow, I didn't really expect that. Want to meet up at the mall and hang out?"
"Sure! Can you pick me up at the dorms?"
"Okay, see you in a few minutes."
"Okay bye."
"How much money is on that card?" Rima asked as she sipped her milkshake. Amu smirked.
"College tution." Amu responsed. Rima started choking.
"W-what?!" She exclaimed. Amu nodded.
"It's my one they were going to use before I got the full scholarship. Ami has her own tuition, so this was extra money." Amu explained.
"My mom gave me $4,000 on a debit card." Rima said with a smile. But her smiled faded as she stared at Amu's necklace.
"Amu, you're necklace is glowing." Rima announced. Amu quickly took it off and looked at it in her hands. It was glowing violet and the image inside it changed from a key, to an eiffel tower. Rima's then started glowing. Her image changed to an eiffel tower also. The girls looked at each other in shock.
"Our true loves are in Paris?" Amu whispered. Rima gulped.
"Wow." Rima said in awe as she put her necklace back on.
"I guess we better get packed then." Amu said with a smile as she stood up and put her necklace on. The two girls walked hand in hand back to Amu's care to go buy plane tickets and get packed.
